Things to consider before you purchase a hedgehog:
I understand that hedgehogs are primarily nocturnal and may not wish to be played with until the evening hours.

I understand that their quills are sharp and I will get poked on a regular basis.

I understand that hedgehogs have very sharp teeth, and I may get bitten as anything with teeth can and may bite.

(Although this is relatively uncommon.)

I understand that a hedgehog needs to kept warm (ideal is 74-78 degrees), and will use an appropriate heat source in order to provide the extra warmth my pet requires.

I understand that I may be defecated and urinated on by my hedgehog, especially when it is a baby.

I understand that my hedgehog will need out of cage time to run around and it is up to me to provide a safe environment for it to do so.

I understand that a hedgehog is by nature a solitary creature and may never actively seek me out for attention.

I understand that hedgehogs need a high quality varied diet and I’m willing to provide this no matter the cost.

I understand that my hedgehog will need its cage and water bottle cleaned at least once a week.

I understand that all animals get sick, injured or develop problems that will need to be treated by a knowledgeable veterinarian and I will have my hedgehog treated no matter the cost.

I understand that if I cannot afford to care for my hedgehog that the best thing for the hedgehog will be to return it to Prickly Pair Hedgehogs for proper care and/or medical attention.

I understand that I cannot sell or give away the hedgehog I purchase from Prickly Pair Hedgehogs, I must, in agreement with the contract, return it to Prickly Pair Hedgehogs to be placed in another home, or to live out the remainder of it’s life in Prickly Pair Hedgehogs care.

I understand that a hedgehog is not the best pet for a child under the age of 10, but I as an adult will take responsibility for the care and needs of the hedgehog.

I understand that the hedgehog I am purchasing is not to be bred under any circumstance, and that if I want a hedgehog for breeding purposes, I will ask Prickly Pair Hedgehogs for a breeder contract.

I understand that purchasing a hedgehog (or any pet), is not to be done lightly and that it is up to me to do as much research as possible before bringing a hedgehog into my home.

If you can answer “yes” to all of these questions, then you may proceed with purchasing one of our hedgehogs!
